Tottenham have been left stunned by Eric Dier’s wage demands, while Leicester have made a bold move for Real Madrid striker Luka Jovic, all in the papers.
SPURS STUNNED
Tottenham have been stunned by Eric Dier’s wage demands, according to a report.
The Daily Mail claim the England man is hoping to double his wages at Spurs – a development which has “taken aback” chairman Daniel Levy.
Dier, 26, is currently on around £60,000 a week, but he has under 12 months remaining on his existing deal.
The centre-back is looking for another £60,000 a week to take him in line with the likes of Hugo Lloris, Dele Alli, Jan Vertonghen and Heung-Min Son.
Dier has forged a close relationship with boss Jose Mourinho and he is hoping that will enable him to earn a lucrative new contract.
The Spurs boss stood by the player, who was recently in trouble after leaping into the stands to confront a fan.
Dier’s future was believed to be in doubt earlier in the season, but he has been a regular under Mourinho and the report claims both parties want a new deal.
However, the Covid-19 pandemic has hit the club financially and they are concerned about handing out a double-your-money new deal.
